Grace Block - Is That a Worry?

Episode 80 with Dr. Loucresie Rupert.

"Psychiatry doesn’t offer a lot of training in treating ADHD in adults and that’s a real deficit. Neurodevelopment disorders don’t just go away when we turn 18."

Dr. Rupert is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist who specializes in neurodiversity, children with trauma, children in foster care or who have been adopted, and adults with developmental disabilities.

She’s also an activist and co-founder of Physician Women SOAR (Support, Organize, Advocate, Reclaim), an organization of physician women that raises money and awareness while educating on intersectional causes such as racial equality, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious, areligious, disability and neurodiverse equality. She also serves her community through her participation in B.L.A.C.K. (Black Leaders Acquiring Collective Knowledge). 

Dr. Rupert aims to help empower those with mental health diagnoses and neurodiversity through her company Insightful Consultant, LLC, via speaking engagements, education and training on a plethora of mental health and diversity-related topics. Dr. Rupert herself is an adoptive parent of 2 wonderful neurodivergent children.
